The Kink Olympixxx, London – Monday 17th October 2016. Outside Parliament, from 12 noon to 2pm.

The feminist pornographer Pandora Blake and obscenity lawyer Myles Jackman have united civil liberties campaigners including the Open Rights Group and NO2ID in a protest against the risk posed to personal privacy and sexual freedom by the Digital Economy Bill currently before Parliament.

“Chinese State censors and surveillance agents will envy this Hadrian’s Firewall.”

The Backlash Kink Olympixxx will feature surreal and satirical games including Fisting Volleyball, a Spanking Relay Race and Squirting Waterfight in a playful parody of the sexual acts that are legal to perform in real life, but illegal to represent, possess or publish under UK sex laws.

The Kink Olympixxx will be held outside Parliament between 12-2pm on Monday the 17th October 2016. There will be speeches from the organisers and civil liberties organisations including Backlash and the English Collective of Prostitutes.

Myles Jackman, the award-winning specialist in obscenity law, commented that: “Whilst the Kink Olympixxx was conceived as a playful protest, the Digital Economy Bill poses a serious risk of users’ personal sexual preferences being leaked; will adversely affect sexual minorities’ ability to freely express their sexuality; and most frighteningly, imposes State censorship and surveillance of consensual adult sexual content in the UK.”

Pandora Blake, the feminist pornographer and sexual liberty campaigner, added that: “The Digital Economy Bill will introduce compulsory age verification for all adult content without any measures to safeguard the privacy of web users. Consensual adult sex should not be criminalised, yet this Bill will prohibit the publication of depictions of sexual activities that are legal to perform.”

“We are calling for a Joint Committee on Adult Liberty to update our retrograde sex laws.”

They are also looking for: volunteers to participate in the games (spanking relay, one legged race and fisting volleyball); as well as Dominatrixes to act as disciplinary-stewards; maids of all genders to distribute drinks and cucumber sandwiches; and anyone can participate in the waterpistol based “squirting waterfight!” There will even be trophies for all the games and a “best dressed” competition.

Notes:

1) Backlash defends freedom of sexual expression for consenting adults in the UK: having successfully challenged state censorship and oppressive prosecutions.

2) Pandora Blake is a feminist porn producer and performer whose award-winning ethical porn website was unsuccessfully closed down by the UK state censor.

3) Myles Jackman is the award-winning “Obscenity Lawyer” who defends sexual freedoms in Court and in public through activism and campaigning.

See you on Monday 17th at 12 midday outside Parliament for The Kink Olympixxx, London
